As you may have heard, within about the past year, there have been news stories being intermittently posted about the Republic of Srpska, or known as Republika Srpska, whereat Milorad Dodik has been perceived as making moves indicative of possible threats of seceding and aligning with Russia, this while there is consideration of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Basically Srpska, or 'RS' for short, is the area of the region in the region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is perceived as the Serb influenced run section.

So, what are the issues?

Well one, is there may be feelings by places like the US, that Russia may be getting added power, or augment to them, while they are in a tension with Ukraine, (if RS does indeed follow through with that move).

There are news reports that the potentiality of seceding might have some degree of being hinged on potentialities of the 2024 US Presidential election.

The EU, European Union has voiced discomfort with RS following through with the move, and there are those that have voiced it could affect Bosnia and Herzegovina's entrance into the EU.

Speaking of which, the matter of 'LG...T', in short, what in Arabic language is referred to, transliterated, as fassad, the behaviors that Prophet Lut warned against, is also an issue that the EU is taking up with the RS, whereat the RS is looking at clamping down on the propagation of 'fassad' behavior.

Russia, in 2022, thereabout, reference ~478 et al., is reported to have passed some laws to reduce levels of 'fassad', for instance, banning propagation of named activities. (There have been earlier laws such as about 2013, ~135 et al.)

What is the alignment issue?, is again asked, while the alignment that looks like it is taking shape, with Russia, North Korea, and RS on one side, while Ukraine is taking a brunt of military activity, where such alignment is remindful of alignments in the Cold War era, with old-fashioned communism on one side, a reference to the older pre-Gorbachev and North Korea system of government.

Remember that in WWII (for historical notes for easy brief grasp, before the Cold War), where the 80th celebration of D-Day invasions were celebrated or remembered in France in recent weeks, Russia was somewhat at certain times during the war aligned with the US; Russia was not invited to that June 2024 event held in France.

Furthermore, Russia leader Putin has within the past few days visited North Korea. Footage seems to show signs of warmth between the two leaders of Russia and North Korea. Online newspapers as we speak, are theorizing what the basis for strengthened ties between the two, North Korea and Russia, is. Perhaps trade, and security relations.

A gleaning of the words Serb when in the same sentence of oppression, given the current Russia-Ukraine situation, almost automatically reminds many of the oppressive events, especially portrayed on media, that unfolded in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and that region, back in the 1990s; whereon, when the idea of RS, basically Serb influenced, remotely looks like it is heading in the direction of a aligning with a geographic size giant with respect to Ukraine, where many feel that there have been those that have oppressed, ideas of Serb oppression may spark in minds again. That is a concern, and issue.

Meanwhile, in other nations, 'fassad' has started to take root in government to the extent that it is almost the mainsail that determines the directions policy are going.

'Fassad' is not what makes many of the Nations that are currently exercising 'LG..T' policy inclusive efforts. For example, Prophet Nuh directing the Ark, directed his high chiefs to lay the first establishments, or stone, in certain regions, for example, in Ukraine, in Italy. The whole idea of the Ark, whether a literal ark, such as a boat the 'good' folks embarked on, or figurative, or both, it was that Nuh disengaged from activities such as fassad. Hence, the sequence of what was established in his effort, was not an effort to propagate fassad.

As is well known Prophets Muhammad (s.), Isa/Jesus, Lut as said, and Shu'ayb, -a Prophet is a Prophet, and the expectations were that they were cleansed from fassad activities-, these, especially in a close to verbatim translation of how Isa/Jesus dealt with it, 'washed his hands' of unbelief which encompassed fassad.

The USA is another place, that was not established in it's beginnings with pro-LG..T in mind, as a matter of fact, there was discomfort in the days leading up to the Revolutionary War, of certain belligerent individuals that not only engaged in what was felt as unnecessary taxation, but also the fassad behaviors, which made the Revolutionists uncomfortable. There has been long-standing adherences to the teachings of Isa/Jesus throughout the USA for hundreds of years; whereat, in the many serious situations that have arisen throughout the globe in the past roughly 250 years, the US has been the recipient of the call, and answered the call, to intervene, because, they deserved to be the ones to do that. Other nations may have had the capacity, but it was the US that carried out, interventions and emergency rescue missions for others, repeatedly.

Circling back to the alignment, so what is the alignment, or non-alignment, alignment that occurs, and so forth, here in the middle of 2024, really about?, or is it that the occurrences of multiple matters is coincidental?

Moving on to broader reaches, the conflict in Palestine-Israel occurring, some analysts seem to feel that Russia is moving in a direction that has less emphasis on strong ties with Israel.

Where much of what is now called Palestine is often considered Muslim, and that what is Muslim includes guidance not to engage in fassad, it may start to appear that those that are currently enforcing policies to maintain a distinction as separate from fassad, or the same ones that have a policy that may seem to side with sides not sharply aligned with Israel.

And there is the Iran matter with respect to the top current issues. Most consider Iran today to be a 'Muslim Country.' Iran and Russia have had different kinds of relations over the past 50 or so years. Iran also has stretched out recently in its position of discomfort with some of the impacts the tensions in the region now known as Palestine and Israel has had.

But with all this said, the world has been a witness to wavering policies with Russia over the past decades post Gorbachev. A witness to occurrences in Chechnya, where many Muslim reside, incidents in Ingushetia, where many Muslim resides, and as a matter of fact there are Muslim individuals in Ukraine, and Russia. The referent incidents in Chechnya [1994] and Ingushetia [roughly 2007-2010] were before the Russia laws in 2022, while adherences to guidance contrary to fassad were generally in place (in Chechnya and Ingushetia by those that adhered to them).

Did fassad get out of hand in some regions of Russia, say after year 2000?
There may be some contrasts that could be drawn up, to help illustrate the issue, such as history of Islam in Russia marked with the Golden Horde. 500 years later, or 6 or 7 generations later, in the very same areas where the pith of Islam presence occurred is where the eye of the fassad storm seemed to be coming from.

From times when the Shah was last in power, to the transition of Khomeini, late 1970s, to tensions with Iraq shortly after, then on to today, Iran now in 2024, presents as a balanced place, back to perceptions as a paradise-like place in earlier times called Persia.

Albeit, Iran in recent years has been reported to be holding one of the highest rates in the 'Middle East', of surgery having to do with 'transvestism', where transvestism ('evil'/fassad intended attempts at changing appearance of someone's initial state of either man or woman through dress to more intensified activities such as medical procedures) is included in the activities encompassed as fassad. Although the exact statistics may not be delved into in this write-up, nor other laws or lack of laws thereunto 're-assignment of biology identity surgery', the start-up of the process when viewed through the lens of abstention from fassad, may make a statement that sometimes moves are made more on a political basis, and not necessarily 'purely' a move of Islam or pure conscience.

The issue of drone production, and where those drones get sent to, sold to, and used, is in the mix of the discussion. It may be considered ironic, that a nation like Iran would allow weapons they produce to be used on those weaker, for reasons that many around the world are extremely uncomfortable with, maybe they simply have not; what exactly are the facts on a drone by drone case, may paint a story that says no sloppy linking through assumption turned logic is allowed.

Even if alignment had to do with movements considered fassad, such as LG..T, and others, whereas there are different nations existent that are now including more than two genders, some of them almost a dozen or more,- such an alignment, may not be but so deep, nor but so viable.

Some countries in Europe, two of which are in the EU, are now recognizing a Palestinian State, amid the current crisis in Palestine-Israel region, namely Norway, Spain, and Ireland, May 2024. More of that type of statement may be slated from other European nations.

The line-up, of on one side, is Russia, some of its neighbors, North Korea, possibly Iran, and potentially down the line, the RS, and 'pro-Palestine', while on the alignment on the other side, is everyone else, never-the-communist and pro-Israel, may not be an oversimplified reality that actually stands past 2D paper standing up, a label on the outside of a house, but no structure behind it.

At the end of the day, what is seen on TV, or young children that have almost to no or no idea about all that fuss, as the victims. One loss of life in the rubble in the Palestine-Israel region after another.

Which brings us back to the question, what are these perceived alignments about? Is it about an revival of communism?, revival of an 'old league' that used to be comprised of communist nations?, access to oil considering geographic positioning?, a sense of safety for a nation or republic, that aligning with a bigger stronger neighbor in a time of conflict might be wise?, a shift away from the EU?, a shift to the EU?, Palestine alignment?, Israel alignment?, it is not clear.
